In get_answers() use `api/2/answer?question=<question_id>` instead of `api/2/answer/<answer_id>`

[rtanglao]

• This way you get all the answers not just the answers at the time of the question API poll. i.e. The array of answer ids in the API response from the question API can be incomplete

Checklist

• use question id api
• re-use the answer hash from the API with updated created and updated time, don't create a new one
• log a WARNING if anything besides creator is a hash

• e.g. https://support.mozilla.org/api/2/answer/?question=1543155
• instead of https://support.mozilla.org/api/2/answer/1234
• i.e. in get-tb-answers-from-questions-file-for-arbitrary-time-period.rb change

  github-action-thunderbird-aaq/get-tb-answers-from-questions-file-for-arbitrary-time-period.rb
